castor oil/methanol/nitromethane is commonly used for MODEL aviation fuel.
mixing castor oil with petrol, is in a way similar to mixing petrol and diesel/kerosene. the slow burning characteristics of avgas might be recreated by slowing down the petrol burn rate with the castor oil.... (remember, it's not all about octane rating..(ie detonation resistance) it's about burn rate as well)
since planes generally have large bores and low rpm, they need a fuel that will burn evenly and not have an accelerating flame front, (which, when it collides witht he cylinder wall, pings). avgas is designed to be both detonation resistant AND slow burning...
not to say all the race kiddies using avgas are wrong, but they may need to up the advance significantly to take advantage of it(or up the compression ratio and heat to increase burn speed)
but anyway, we have digressed.. again 
2 stroke will just make smoke and deposit carbon in your motor.. you may also find the oil gums up in your fuel lines and carby.
ppl have accidentally filled new cars with diesel and survived, so why would a bit of oil kill your motor (and isn't that the norm for old corollas anyway   )
if your motor died, it's more likely the abuse from the burnouts.
no offence intended but.....
burnouts on oil = fried motor = idiot in my books
and it's cessna

Caster oil mixtures was all that was used in real planes a fair few years ago(you may not be old enough to know this) and it still used a fair bit these days.
